thanks for reposting. i bookmarked this and shared it with friends. very simple and comprehensive guide, well done Hawkian!
I'm not talking about what weapons you can use or how you can use them with your skill [blink]. I'm talking about class and its capability in which warlock has shortest stick in PvP.
If you claim that blink or radiance is same as OHK boderline-godmode bladedancer that reks everything within 15 meters or HULKSMASHYOUCANTHARMME Titan I'm not sure you really have played Crucible.
Warlock as a class has least OHK or Godmode abilities and no spammable ones really. Sunsinger can nadespam, but that goes only that far when compared to bladedancer.

Lol. One of the Queen bounties today is that you need to win 3 crucible matches with the Queen's Class item, shader and emblem equipped. The class item is a rank 2 purchasable which is impossible to have gotten by now since you can only rank up through bounties. Gg Bungie, well played.

Troll bounties, as are the Salvage-related ones. So annoying!
Yes, that one bounty you can't do is the final straw.
Whoa... I just tried the level 24 Queens mission on earth... I am level 23... silly RNG armor... I keep playing but I am getting enough to get to level 24 fast enough... in any case at the final point in the level 24 mission those fallen can tear through my armor and kill me in 2-3 shots... even the low level guys... makes these missions pretty tough... I guess I will need to try it with a full fire team later on...
LOL, stupid. Guess it's just randomly tossed in the rotation.
23, I have a heavy machine gun with void damage(rare). One clipped all 3 bosses (Black Garden).

I'm already level 27 so it's a bit hard for me to determine, but I'd say that they're at about the same health level.
That stuff is honestly getting so old. Same with the constant Salvage bounties when the mode isn't up, come the fuck on bungie.
I think that Smash 4 will be the one to have that honor.
Stayed up top like the others. 2 guys shot the boss, I distracted the Minotaur (didn't kill him). Just kept jet packing over his head and running back forth while he chased me.
NJ??
Not really. The Bladedancer super is insanely powerful with a seemingly eternal shield. The non-defender Titan super can come out really quickly.
The Voidwalker super has a pretty long startup time, and Sunsinger super is kinda useless in PVP, although it's the funniest/trolliest one to use. Warlock is also the only one that doesn't have an instant-kill melee.

I can help with Nightfall tonight, and in terms of raid Homeboy is organizing that. I'm down for the weekend.
Yeah, I'm not sure if I added you yet, what's the GT? Already have so many GAF folks on my list it gets hard keeping track of whos who lol.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I went from being totally awful at crucible to actually winning rumbles sometimes! Mad skillz.
I wonder if/when they are gonna do a round of PVP weapon balance. I don't really mind the shotgun/fusion rifle situation, but it would be nice if pulse and scout rifles got a little love.

Yout too! Good times.
Dude, Hawkian is one of the most helpful posters in this thread. I have his Destiny guide saved on my flash drive for my own reference.
Halo had at least 14 OTs
Damn really? Sheesh
someone mentioned a few posts back that you can go to that area in patrol and tackle it alone to ensure you get the kill

Did a couple Queens bounties and then one mission (after a few too many hits from the bottle) and got a legendary helm. I don't particularly remember what happened after that but I do know that I have all legendary armor now. So, there's that. And I have this hangover as proof.
I'll be back at it again tonight.
Also - sorry to all the invitations I ignored last night. I, at some point, decided to just walk away from my PS4 and go to sleep. My bad. If you still need me tonight, I promise to be less drunk and unavailable.

50 Glimmer says that was secretly written by the Cryptarch.
Yes, last night was very productive indeed. Except me getting stuck under the staircase almost ruined the run lol.
I got a Legendary chest last night. I was psyched, because more Ass Shards, right? Public Events and random loot has been stuck on Ass Energy when I want Shards.
I start to immediately dismantle and then pause, looking at the bonuses and the +'s.
.....damnit, it's better than what I have.
I actually felt disappointment that I would not be getting more Ass Shards from it. Worst thing is I can't just switch immediately because the current Leg Chest is slightly upgraded so it'll actually take me longer to hit 28 if I dismantle it now.
/shake fist.
Yeah, with the + elemental boss damage, the bosses go down ridiculously quick. Like I said, though, remember that most of the "dirty casuals" are just beginning to understand elemental damage. That + epic makes it hard for some.

If you actually want to progress in this game, listen to Hawkian. You'll just have to trust me on this one. Or don't. Enjoy shooting into that virtual cave, kiddo. Money well spent.

I had the same happen for me, except my mission was on the moon. I thought for sure I would rage quit the mission when I saw it was Very Hard but, I ended up getting through it with very few problems. Getting my first legendary armor piece was exciting for me.
What I really want is that assault rifle since I don't have a good one to use.

the queen's missions randomly sends you on one of several missions AFAIK
earth: the restoration
the moon: shrine of oryx
venus: scourge of winter
venus: eye of gatelord
mars: the garden spire
mars: the black garden

Thats basically it bro. Just keep in mind for every bounty you do, you get one queen mission ticket which allows you to do 1 queen kill order event on the left side of the travel screen PER ticket. I was able to get both my helm and chest from the queen mission last night (plus another 3 or 4 chest and a couple helms to break down).
What is wierd, is that I was on early a.m. yesterday when queen wrath even started, picked up the bounties and did them all, I get home from work, after the little patch they did, and was able to pick up a whole another set of the same bounties I already did. I guess it must have bugged due to the patch and allowed me to do the bounties a second time.
Already did my queen's bounties this morning (not going to do the headshot pvp ones lol, well maybe).
Starting to burn out a little on this game. Just having achieved platinum Diablo 3 on the PS4, it is not nearly as good of a game (and I hated vanilla D3, on PC, enough to get a full refund). It has great gunplay and the PVP is descent, but there are things that just hamper the experience too much:
Crucible
Strikes and Campaign
End Game and Other Game Systems
There are many more, but these bother me the most.
Crucible
- Where are PVP modes for no supers?
- Where are custom PVP modes?
- Map editor (Halo 3 had this)?
- Cannot take a group of 12 friends online and play PVP with just them?
- 12 players is max, online? Come on, have a 12 vs. 12 mode, at least, on larger maps. Big team battles.
- The incredibly detailed campaign world is not used in PVP at all? What? Put 30 vs. 30 in the patrol areas.
- Where are the multiple player veichles? Vehicles on maps are few and far between; 2 vehicle types total. SMH.
- So many maps are tight shotgun havens. I began with scount and pulse rifles with sniper rifles to find myself 0.74 K/D ratio. Now, I am using auto rifle and shotgun and I have raised my K/D ratio above 1, far higher than any FPS game and I am quite bad at FPS's.
- Capture the flag? This is a fun mode.
Strikes and Campaign
- Bosses are bullet sponges (similar to D3) and require very little strategies other than distractions.
- Where are the scarab-type bosses like in Halo 3? This boss was very fun and required some playing around instead of just run and shoot and watch the yellow bar drop.
- World feels empty.
- Patrol is incredibly repetitive and borderline boring.
End Game and Other Game Systems
- I obtained 10 purples in under 3 hours from the treasure cave. I obtained 1 purple in my entire other 40 hours in story/patrol/crucible. Where is the incentive to do these modes for loot?
- Loot is all the same, just differs by a few special modifiers and Discipline/Intellect/Strength. Not much incentive to grind once I get the trophy.
- Bounties are so repetitive. Where are the interesting bounties worth doing. Everything is about getting experience and reputation to build up vendors to buy gear which is all the same, except design and colours.
- Higher difficulties feel cheap. One hit KO's all over the place. Feels like artificial difficulty reminicient of Infernal on vanilla D3.
- Very few types of guns, even in story mode.
- Beat Raid without a teammate dying trophy? Come on, this is DLC bait trophy, at best. Only god tier players or hackers could achieve this.
- Modes and bounties that come and go are very annoying. Let us have the entire game now. Ruins the enjoyment of those who cannot play every week, all year.
- Loading screens. WTF? These are absolutely unreal. Time in loading menus, between Crucible games and when going to and from the Tower is absolutely unacceptable.
There are many more, but these bother me the most.

It is just a game. Having said that, the kid clearly is frustrated at said game. I simply told him to listen to one of the more helpful people here. Nothing more, nothing less. Let's not artificially trump up my mildly biting comment.
Mob mentality? Really? Haha. I'm not certain you know what that term means if you're throwing it at what I said.

Has anyone gotten any Legendaries from the Queen's Wrath missions that aren't Helm / Chest pieces yet?
Had a real fun evening with doomquake doing missions / breaking the game / hitting level 28. Working incredibly well together despite me not being able to use headset in my current location.
People hating on the game need to be more social and make some friends, it's good on your own but amazing with others.

Do you have to deliver the finishing blow on the fallen walker? Good grief, make me jump through more hoops Bungie. :|
If you have a weapon that matches the elemental modifier, you can tear through them easily, whether they are the tougher enemies like Knights, that teleporting Vex bastard, or the dregs.

For the final boss of the raid, anyone have some good strategies? I have a few but would like more.
1)

What do you guys think? Give me some more advice too. So far, I've got every encounter down pat. I've cleared the final boss before, but I'm trying to make it less hectic.
1)
For the people going in the portal, the two non-relic carriers can do a little bit of damage on the mobs inside. I like Hunters with Gunslinger here. Some folks use the Golden Gun on the oracle while the second person helps the relic carrier kill trash until the Golden Gun user is out of bullets. Another thing I've used is having one person carry a void rocket launcher and shoot the minotaur, softening him up for the relic carrier to kill.
However, I'd like to see if a Golden Gun could be used on the Hobgoblins/Minotaur.

2)
People opening and defending the portals can stand in the middle platform whenever the Supplicants come out. The boss isn't shooting at this time. This way, you can take shots at the Supplicants without worrying about them blowing up on you.
A bit of theorycrafting here: Is it possible for two people to stand on the platform the entire time once the boss sends the portal team back in time? I ask this because there's a few seconds where Time's Vengeance is on but the boss is just standing still. In that timeframe, the portal people could exit, cleanse, jump out onto the middle platform, and the relic holder can pop the cleanse shield. Everyone jumps into the shield and blast the boss with 1 or 2 killing remaining Supplicants. Then, when the buff's timer is almost up, the portal team heads to the back of the room. Every time the buff ends, the portal team is almost instantly transported and the boss is back to idling/not shooting - meaning the middle platform is safe besides Supplicants taking pot-shots like they usually do.

I did the Queens bounties missions 3 times in a row and got legendary chest armor each time. What the heck, I wanted a few different pieces, not the same thing three times.
